Speaking of Matterson...if he goes unsigned, do we take him back on a reduced contract? Obviously he probably won't want to come back, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of love for him in the market -no choice. He did play well as an edge br under Madge for most of his stint with us.

Never forgiven, so no

Interesting, but a :-1: from me.

You're kidding right....
He had his chance, Already ran from the trenches once...
He'd only be here for a payday - Same as he is at Parra.

He's gone from 18th man in Origin in his chosen position,
To coming off the Bench at Prop.
They'd let him go tomorrow if they could...

Yep screw him. He’ll be forced to retired soon. The bloke got concussed from a ball hitting his head
 
He was unbelievable when he was with us. I remember 1 try he ran over like 4 forwards to score I thought he was going to be a 10 year nrl players at that stage. Unfortunately he’s a better footy player then person

Question is, if we did sign Farnworth for 23, would we offer Liddle or Mikaele as a trade to try and get him for 22?

I think Mikaele still has a lot to offer,I’d like to see WT keep him for a couple of more years.

Yeah I'd like to keep.Mickaele. he's still learning and he's young. Think hel.hit his straps next couple of years.

He'll be 27 and we'll be like, "he's finally going to live up the expectations this year."

Like Nofo, 27 and Liddle, 25.

Mikaele is the strongest in the club. Yet plays like a pussy cat. Fire up son.

just a few hard running hit ups from him would do the team a world of wonders

Nope he burned a lot of bridges on the way out. He is a solid player but I would rather Lane if I had my choice of eels 2nd rowers.

I heard Teddy Atlas talking about talent. His point was that there is physical talent and mental talent. The ability to get the most out of your physical attributes could be considered talent.

Matterson lacks the ability to get the most out of his physical attributes. He has made poor decisions and stuffed his career.
 
Omg reading the eels Hodgson and simmonsson signing post on the Eels FB page - the copium is delicious and cathartic after so many years of poor recruitment. For once it's not us.
 
I know someone who knows him quite well. He told him he left because he feared playing for Madge would shorten his career.
Looks like Concussions will end up doing it before Madge would.
